The valve cover on my wife's Elantra is cracked and needs to be
replaced. Her 2001 is cracked where there is a kind of screw fitting
(brass) on top for where you screw in what I guess is the silver dust
cover. Anyway, I looked on ebay for a replacement and NONE of the
2001 replacements have these screw fittings except a NEW one from
someone named Four Green (Engine Valve Rocker Cover for 01-02
Elantra 1.8 2.0 OEM [2241023510]) (below) photo. All the other
replacement covers lack these fittings (like the one above). I did find a
'late 2007' cover which seems to correspond, but there is no way a
2007 cover got on the car since we've had it since before then. So, I'm
confused as to which is the correct part and if I don't get the correct
one, will the silver cover thingy not fit? I will try to attach a photo of
the other type in a subsequent post.

...okay, well let's use our heads here...this is a positive crankcase
ventilation tube....takes the crankcase pressure and puffs it out for the
intake to draw in~
there are no other connections to the crankcase....except to draw the fumes
in through a PCV valve (look for one, you'll find it)....so it is important that
this system be connected....if you're talking about the right angle nipple
there in the photo...this definitely has to be there for positive ventilation of
the crankcase fumes....honestly can think of no other use for this
connection...hope this helps~

SORRY, I must have not been clear. MY car appears (from what the
mechanic showed me when the silver cover was off) to have the kind
of valve cover shown by Four Green. And, you will notice that there
are SIX brass-colored female fittings on top that something (like the
silver cover) screws into. (This is not a PCV valve connection issue;
sorry.) But I am finding the other valve cover listed as compatible.
What gives?

It must be set up for vehicles with different options that could bolt to it. These don't go all the way through. You only use the threaded holes you need for the options you have on yours. The others will stay empty.

Well, my car is a GLS and I don't see any 'options' bolting onto the top
except the brass fitting on the Four Green cover (I have) at about 9
o'clock is now a hole and the brass fitting had a little plastic cone or
something screwed into it that seemed to fit just below a hole in the
top of the silver cover toward the driver's side end of the engine. Are
you saying I can just buy either one and I'll be fine? Because the Four
Green model (new) is like 4 times the price of the other ones (used).
Thanks.

what is the purpose of these fittings? can be only for crankcase fumes...tell
me that these are NOT used for the crankcase fumes....I can think of nothing
else...sorry I cannot help with this, other than to say look at the
FUNCTION~....of this fitting~

The fittings are in the picture above; they are obviously not in any way
related to crankcase fumes. My question actually relates to the silver
cover that screws on TOP of the valve cover (it must be a dust cover
or something). It would appear these two different valve covers are
compatible with two different dust covers and I don't want to get stuck
with a mismatch. It's only the valve cover I'm trying to replace.
Nothing is wrong with my present dust cover (the thing on top that is
silver and has DOHC 16V written on it).
